Not trying to be funny Dave, but what about the riders that cant average 18-19 in Winter (or summer) Thats quite fast unless its on a flat course with no traffic.

I wonder if Martin's is a calculated average and 18-19 is cruising speed? To average 19 the group would need to be rolling consistently at 22+ as even slowing for corners and junctions hammers the average.
Ah, but that's here in crowded *CENSORED*, maybe it's different in Barrow on Soar.

quite so Tim!
I joined them for a while last week and we were doing 22,s - 23's on the flat. Which for me was a bit quick, but then I am a bit of an old git  the rest seemed to cope with it and the ride averaged 18mph so I was told. If you can't do that, then join an old 'un like me and plod round at 17mph
BTW, the speed will probably go up by the new year as they're only cruising at the mo

My average is over 4 hrs on the puter - which as you say takes into account any delays and over varied terrain. Thats also on my own or with 1/2/ other riders. |

In the time when I did train, I would typically average ~ 18mph for a 4+ hr ride on me own on reasonably hilly routes. I say this after examining all my power-meter files

Sounds about right, I just ride slower on my midweek rides.
my better average's when I try harder is about 18-20 |

I average a squillion miles a seconds when I'm training, and can do 15 hours solid on one square of kendal mint cake.
